Dear IAIP Colleagues,

We are writing to share some sad news. Dr. Eva Dreikurs Ferguson passed away last night, in her home in Edwardsville, IL, at the age of 96.

The story of her long life, from her Viennese childhood to the 2025 ICASSI in Collinsville, Illinois (US), cannot be summarized meaningfully so soon after her passing. Many colleagues worldwide will undoubtedly have significant conversations in the coming weeks and months.
As the IAIP Board, we pay tribute to her decades of Adlerian research and teaching, her unyielding passion for preserving the legacy of her father, Rudolf Dreikurs, her service to the Adlerian movement, and the unmatched determination she carried to her last day.

May her memory be a blessing.

Her legacy will remain alive in our Adlerian community.
May her memory be a blessing.
